Hey Team,
I’m not good at being cold
I miss warm weather
I’ve even been told
It won’t get any better
I spent the whole day
Wandering the city
If only it were May
It wouldn’t be such a pity
Went to Wendy’s for a meal
Listened to bums fight
What’s the big deal?
Is gay marriage such a blight?
A lady gave me a haircut
Outside it just got colder
I wanted to leave the store, but
“If I go, I’ll freeze,” I told ‘er
I finally filmed the close
For the next podcast
Can’t wait til it shows
Better edit fast
The site needs sponsors
Email to join the fun
Don’t want to be like the Dinosaurs
Without some help I’m done
Time to move on now
To the next adventures
Maybe lobster boat or ride a cow?
Whatever, I’ll take lots of pictures
Okay, this weather’s getting old
I’m gonna go hit the hay
Eff you cold.
Eff you in your stupid ay
Brett.
If you liked my Ode to Amtrekker you should donate, if you didn’t you should write your own freakin’ poem. Jerk.
Do it.
LOVED your poem! I say eff the cold too!

So remember when I hit that cow with my car in high school? I knew the people who owned it and well…they loved me. What does this mean? I can help you with “Ride a cow”
You probably won’t take it though simply because 1. I’m your sister and 2. you would have to come to the warm weather (and its NOT home because not even mom and dad live in Tollhouse anymore and you can couchsurf my house since that has never been home for you. Perfect.)
You can make it work it’ll be all symbolic because it could be in one of your hometowns annnnnd on CHRISTMAS! Now THATS a great family outing. Shoot I think that would make #40 your 4th coolest list item!
I think you should take Dan the Amish Man up on his “ride a horse through a covered bridge” offer while your in Penn…

Stupid cold.
Awesome offer Jess…don’t hold your breath though.
Fun Fact: The whole reason riding a cow is on the list is because I tried to ride one of the cows across the street from Sierra High in Tollhouse once upon a time and failed. Little jerks wouldn’t stand still. I felt like it was a challenge from cow community…I WILL win.

Maybe someone will donate some man-pants for you, ya big girl’s blouse! It’s not even cold yet! …but then again you don’t own a coat…
… anyway no excuses! cold is an illusion of the mind! can’t you see that now!? Once I get my weather control device operational, you’ll see…. you’ll all see…
(oh, and you can borrow a coat for bowling tonight).

This guy named Brett
Went out on a trek
To conquer the world at large
He jumped on a train
(A little insane?)
Well at least he’s not traveling by barge.
He wears a green hat
Carries a small north face pack
To hold his most precious possessions
He has a long list of fifty
A website that’s nifty
And blog after blog of his lessons
Learned.
He sleeps on the couches of strangers
Or on benches that have no park rangers
He makes friends with them all
He’s over 6 feet tall
And he laughs in the face of hitchhiking dangers.
Fireflies and sloths
Bees and the Amish
Conquering all with the tendancy of getting lost.
He’s met many a group
From Chicago to Boston..ish
The latter of which he often returns to get tossed.
His successes are many
His failures, one
Will he stop at any?
Or not till he’s done.
Good luck fair Brett,
Go ride that cow
Your goals are set
Go live in the now.

I once met a guy named Brett
On his list his mind was set
His goal hit a stall
But unlike a wall
Over and on he soon went
